Despite the fact that the passing of the Thanksgiving holiday marks the end of pumpkin season for me, I still love the stuff so I had to test out the Spicy Pumpkin Cupcake that caught my eye in the display case in the LES bakery Sugar Sweet Sunshine. The spiced pumpkin cake had hints of cinnamon and nutmeg and it was extremely moist and not too dense. The cream cheese frosting was not overwhelmingly heavy and the ratio of frosting to cake was acceptable, whereas many NYC cupcakes are infamously smothered in excessive amounts of frosting (more is not always better). All in all, it was a pretty good cupcake and a fine end to my pumpkin season.
